Extended Data Fig. 3: Plasmid copy number (PCN) and conjugation rates do not correlate with plasmid fitness costs.

From: Within-patient evolution of plasmid-mediated antimicrobial resistance

Extended Data Fig. 3

Correlation between relative fitness (w) and a) PCN, or b) log10 conjugation rate of E. coli J53 carrying different PVs relative to the plasmid-free strain. In each panel individual dots correspond to the median values of E. coli J53 carrying different PVs. Spearman’s rank correlation rho and p-value (p) for each case are indicated in the figure. The red dashed line indicates the regression and the gray-shaded zone covers the 95% confidence interval.
